Overall a good experience and a cool take on the theme. If I were to critique the game I would have to argue against the balance of puzzle solving-to instructions. After picking up the first box I would say you don't really need the textual instructions anymore, part of the fun is figuring out the puzzles yourself 👍. Other than that, the graphics were really good and the idea fun to play around with, good job!

Developer

I totally agree with you on this, and most of the instruction text weren't there originally, but ALL of my playtesters they were confused on how to progress the game, and quit because they either didn't know what to do, or thought that the game was over, and since i didn't wanted that to happen to the player, i choose to add them, even if it "muddies" the experience for some players :P

I guess adding an hint system could have been a better option, too bad i thought of this only now :/

Thanks for playing (and hopefully enjoying) my game!! (^u^)

this game was challenging, and the controls weren't excellent, but hey that how we improve! i loved the graphics, music was good.

Developer

yes, there are many ways where i could have improved on it, but hey, for this being my first platformer it didn't turned out half bad i'd say!! (^D^)

PS. It was challenging in a good way or a bad way?? I'm assuming you meant that it was hard, which is different of being challenging :3

OH HEY YOUR FIRST PLATFORM! NOT BAD! i would say both... like it was frustrating, but i do see potential! there, i would say study other platforms and see what they do to keep it very Interesting and challenging enough to be enjoyable, you should go play VIMLARKS  game and see what i mean by that

Very awesome game, I really liked the art of it but it felt a bit too hard at times. Other than that, really cool game!

Developer

Ye, especially in the late levels, the game is pretty hard!! I'm glad you liked it anyway tho :3

Oh, and the art isn't done by me :3 (credits for the art in the description)

Haha, a robot in lab too. Seems like we had the same idea. Anyway, i wasnt able to run the game but i saw the graphics and there seems to be nice game feel. Sadly i can't vote since it doesn't run for me...

Developer

Aww, man i don't know why that happens!! It's sor random too, to some people it doesn't work and to some it does. I'm sorry that you can't play the game :C

I know this isn't really affecting the problem, but i'll ask it anyway: what browser did you use??

Submitted(+1)

Chrome. No loading screen even appear. I hope you'll find a solution. Good luck man !

Damm i love how u need to move up and down. Simple yet fun way. Bit tedious with the lasers and box after the light is switched on.

Developer

ah, i see you have some trouble with the last room. Thank you for letting me know that!! (^u^) 

And ye, i've tried to go with something super simple, but polished this time :3

This game has Amazing Game potential, but, the very interesting idea and fun gameplay is heavily watered down because of the movement, it feels way too fast and a little uncontrollable, and the music feels too short to be a loop. But otherwise, everything else is really good, i liked the art, the throwing is interesting, and the actual gameplay idea is amazing. Great game!

Developer

(^D^) Thanks for the feedback!! I've noted the speed problem on my notebook!! I hope that it didn't ruined your experience that much :/

And about the music... I know. I'm not a good musician sadly :C
